What is Shock and Awe, to any who might wonder or possibly even give a damn.. "Operation Shock and Awe" , is the present Pentagon plan as of now. The form it will take is to over a period of 2 days(Commencing on A-Day) hit Baghdad with 600 to 800 cruise missiles. This particular form of Shock and Awe warfare is planned to be in the category a non-nuclear equivalent of Hiroshima, how nice. <<The second example is "Hiroshima and Nagasaki" noted earlier. The intent here is to impose a regime of Shock and Awe through delivery of instant, nearly incomprehensible levels of massive destruction directed at influencing society writ large, meaning its leadership and public, rather than targeting directly against military or strategic objectives even with relatively few numbers or systems. The employment of this capability against society and its values, called "counter-value" in the nuclear deterrent jargon, is massively destructive strikes directly at the public will of the adversary to resist and, ideally or theoretically, would instantly or quickly incapacitate that will over the space of a few hours or days.>> Point is, that after Hiroshima and Nagasaki it was observed those alive were in Shock and Awe and incapable of fighting. This our dear sweet plan, to put the 5 million people of Baghdad thru unspeakable hell for two days with near 15 cruise missiles hitting per hour on average. It will be two days of an unrelenting massive attack of unadulterated terrorism. How many children and adult civilians will be mentally broken for the rest of their life is of no signifigance i am sure. That it will be 100 of times worse than 9/11, i am sure is not signifigant. That many thousands of innocent will be killed or blinded or crippled i am sure is not of signifigance--just "collateral damage". After this the Iraqis citizens will come to us and hug us and thank us for the kind act of liberating us. Yup, that is Operation Shock and Awe, isn't it neat!!!! Golly gee my government is so kind and wonderful. Max dodccrp.org If this takes place i will be the the first in line charging the Bush Administration with Crimes against Humanity.It seems quite all right in the mind of Rumsfeld/Bush etc. that in order to kill one diseased fly, it is morally correct to "break all hell loose" upon one huge city and drag millions of innocent into this full blown horror. By the way, evil as Saddam is, he did not plan nor execute the attack on WTC. Max |
